Sempra Infrastructure has reached a heads of agreement (HoA) with affiliate partners TotalEnergies, Mitsui & Co., and Japan LNG Investment LLC for the development of a second phase for the Cameron LNG liquefaction plant in Hackberry, Louisiana.
This second phase will see the installation of a fourth LNG train with production capacity of up to 6.75Mtpa. Ramping up of production of three already operational trains is also planned with debottlenecking activities.
Sempra Infrastructure will hold a 50.2% stake in the production capacity of the fourth train. Under tolling agreements, 25% of debottlenecking capacity could be allocated to Sempra’s subsidiary, with the remaining 75% being shared between existing customers of phase 1.
Before reaching a final investment decision on Cameron’s phase 2, Sempra expects to sell long-term purchase agreements for the plant’s capacity.
Cameron LNG initially started its operations in August 2020, after a total investment of US$10bn.
